• As part of my Master's Degree in Computer Science, I had an internship as Software Engineer at Motius.
• Goal of the internship is to plan and develop software for an IoT Gateway for a German car manufacturer.
• The rising of IOT technologies and the availability of network connections everywhere in the world are opening the doors to ideas and products which aim
• to interconnect all the devices around us. Motius builds a product for “smarter city”, in particular a Smart Lightpole, that is connected to all other lightpoles and contains sensors, camera, etc. This network of smart streetlights can be the backbone of the smart city. The pole can interact with participants of the smart city, e.g. pedestrians by providing them with WiFi or by providing an emergency button.
• But a huge number of participants is currently excluded of this network and it’s a signifcant part of a city: the cars.
• Therefore we aim to connect cars into that network. In a frst requirements engineering workshop we identifed the need of a centralization tool, placed in the car, that gathers all information in one place and enables a smooth communication to third parties. We want to provide technologies to access cars’ telemetry and controls, and a way for an user to set rules to react to events. With this gateway, developers can retrieve all telemetry from just one place, and can deliver commands to the car.

• Archon is a company based in Italy, with offices in USA, specialized in providing automated operations with UAVs. Archon’s team members are all Italians and have a recognized expertise or advanced degrees in physics, business administration, engineering and virtual reality. The combined background of the team members is able to cover the design and management of complex drones operations.
• As full stack developer I'm building all the architecture of the Archon Project. We have to coordinate flight of fleet of drones controlled by an AI.
• I'm working on the software which interface with the AI and provides commands to every single drone, as well as other entities integrated with our system.
• It also takes care to expose APIs to allow users to define missions and goals in a web interface built with AngularJs.
• We use AMQP protocol for real time communication between the orchestration software and all the drones: each one has a little daemon to communicate with. We created a common protocol to work with a lot of different drones model.
• We're focusing on high-performance, high-availability solution.
• I'm involved in every day discussion on how to implement the orchestration software, written in Node.js, which takes care of a lot of different tasks (communicate with AI, provides API for end users, communicate with drones and sensors) and I'm also involved in the development of both the frontend for users, and the daemon that runs on each drone.

• As developer for Ubuntu for Phones I've tried to build the future of mobile industry.
• I write code in mainly Javascript and QML to implement new functions and fix bugs. Also I review code from occasional contributors, to ensure that quality is high.
• Every new function requests a Quality Test, so I write Python test with autopilot library.
• The team is international, and every week we have a video call, so I drastically improved my spoken English.
• Thanks to this experience I learned how work remotely in a big team, using a SCM (bazaar) and mailing list to coordinate.
• Also, I started to be involved in all Ubuntu Phone related activities, contributing to a lot of different software. Unfortunately Launchpad isn't user friendly, but here there is a list of my contributions.
• Moreover, I met a lot of high-skilled and very talented guys, who taught me how opensource works, and some very good approaches to good team work and good software development guidelines.

• Ubuntu-it has been my first approach to the opensource world.
• I understood how a community driver project works, and I started to learn about Computer Science.
• I joined different activities (in some of which I'm still involved) to promote Ubuntu in Italy: I develop the websites, write in the newsletter, promote Ubuntu on social medias (Facebook, Google+ and so on) and join events and conferences as speaker.
